MiHoYo awarded $112,000 by Chinese court after AI voice service dupes Genshin Impact characters

Game Developer reports that miHoYo won about $112,000 in a Shanghai court case after an AI voice service imitated Genshin Impact characters. The ruling could become a useful signal for how Chinese courts treat generative AI that borrows recognizable game IP, especially voice identity and character performance. For studios, it sharpens the legal risk around synthetic voices and fan-facing tools.
